@Pete22 Ahh yes, I'm seeing that. I started a Sourceforge account so hopefully that will solve my filehosting issues finally. Uploading right now, will have the link soon.

@Belham Hah, thank you for your kind words Belham. I'm surprised it works with other Pups, not surprised it doesn't work with Slacko. Phil has an convenient sym link with lib and lib64 so once doesn't have to use --libdir=/usr/lib64, but consequently pets made on a Phil system won't work on a Slacko system due to the difference in directories.

It looks like we're in luck regarding Xenial development since Phil is back...woohoo!

Thanks for the link. I went ahead and download what Ubuntu they had there, and just uextracted it all and patiently (mind-numbingly, lol) manually installed every bit of it. It seemed to go ok, at least I hope so (impossible to tell with Ubuntu's maddening naming schemes for all updates and/or security fixes). Thanks again.

Beautiful, Battleshooter! Just playing around running without a savefile (mostly with the new Firefox, which I'm finding to be blistering fast) - so far, things looking great, & incredibly responsive on this old desktop. WiFi, sound, video resolution all good.

One issue - wondering if anybody else is finding the PPM not updating? Click the "Update now" button, and the "configure" window immediately disappears and reappears, ready to be selected again - and no other apparent background download activity.

Otherwise - danged nice! I'm typically not a fan of flat icon themes, but this default set is nice enough I actually think I could live with it...

(edit to add;) Yes, some weirdness with menu entries - installed items in usr/share/applications/ either not displaying in their respective categories, or not displaying at all (even the pre-installed Firefox did not show for me in the default menu without some .desktop tweaks). And no shutdown GUI (although shutdown-gui is installed and functional). A regression/deprecation in the XDG standards or something, I'd bet...

I was checking out whether Netflix works in the installed Firefox 57.0b10, I discovered that I can't get sound in Firefox. I also checked Youtube. I checked that there isn't a mute in the player window controls. I had just adjusted the alsa mixer to increase volume just prior, the panel control is on full volume. Any idea how I can get sound working?

Sound is working OK using Vivaldi.

Edit: This is using my laptop Dell Latitude 3350 Core i3-5005U. Haven't loaded this release to desktop with AMD FX6100 yet, so not sure if sound will work there yet.Last edited by Terry H on Sat 28 Oct 2017, 16:42; edited 1 time in total

Hi Terry!

Just saw your post as I was about to log off (am having problems with phil's latest 7.0.8.6).

Hey as I am typing this, I am watching Netflix right now (the new StarTrek) in Battleshooter's Xenial64-XFCE. But I am watching it using the latest Chrome (just released today, 62.0.3202.75, I think). Everything works great, sound too.

Doing it in latest 64-bit Firefox, the pic quality was worse, plus I also had to fiddle getting the sound to work correctly, so I gave up and went back into the arms of the monster-of-malice Google herself.

Hope you get it working!

This version of firefox looks really slick, picture quality of netflix was fine, just no sound. I have been using vivaldi for the last couple of days. I createded an sfs of the latest current release 1.12. Updated widevine and its working really well.

battleshooter and anyone else using Xfce (with gvfs), while playing around with slacko-6.9.9.9 I've discovered that /usr/lib/gio/modules/giomodule.cache should have a gvfs entry. According to the slackware install script, the commands

Code:

/usr/bin/gio-querymodules /usr/lib/gio/modules

and

Code:

/usr/bin/glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

should be run after installing gvfs. I would think that /usr/lib/gio/modules/giomodule.cache and /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/gschemas.compiled should be added to the build after running hose commands. My partitions seem to mount faster afterwards but I could be hallucinating. _________________X-slacko-5b1 - X-tahr-2.0 - X-precise-2.4
